Thank you for the add. I'm Terry and my wife is Caitlyn. We own a small dive company out Kitsap county Washington.

Currently we own a 40' Bayliner Bodega, a 40' Willard center console, and a 14' Avon 😉. Our prior boat was a 1959 stephens 55' flush deck. Our next boat (already arranged) is Robert Beebe's design #156, originally Tortuga.

Being owners of a marine based business, and full time live-aboards, we love and live for the water. Thanks for the add and see you on the water.

We bought Papazia II, I also noted you posted on the other thread. Tortuga is a 54', correct? And she has a Mitsubishi engine?

At the water, yes. Overall she is 61. The only Beebe to ever have the troll pit, and I think the last one ever built. Hull was laid in '97 and fitting was completed in '01.

You are also correct on the engine. Single Mitsubishi now with a bit over 4k hours. Sips fuel at about 1.3 gallons an hour doing 7 knots. She was originally built with twin engines to a single shaft. But during the first run there was an undocumented "catastrophic failure". The second engine was pulled and everything was reconfigured.
